What did we like?
Luxurious accommodation. We were met at the entrance to the Port by a Butler who escorted us around to the front of the security check point then walked us all the way to our stateroom. When we ordered room service, the food was personally delivered by a Butler rather than a dining staff member. The rooms were larger, bathrooms were nicer, and refrigerator was always stocked with drinks. Overall, a truly remarkable service.
Main dining was excellent. Most prior cruises, the main dining food that is included in the cruise fare is subpar. Therefore, we try to book as many specialty dining for extra fee. However, main dining food at the Yacht Club was incredible. We didn’t feel the need to try specialty dining.
Concierge & Exclusivity. There was always a Yacht Club concierge that is available. They helped resolve any issues we had during the stay. From issues with charges to getting reservations for the thermal spa, the concierge just handled it for us. No need to go to the main guest services and wait in line for service. Also the Yacht Club section requires a Yacht Club bracelet to enter. This prevented the area from being crowded and provided truly exclusive experience.
Spacious bathroom with plenty of room!
Largest shower we have ever had on a cruise ship!
What didn’t we like?
It would have been great if there were shows or activities in the Yacht Club section of the ship exclusive to Yacht Club guests. All of the shows or activities were outside of the Yacht Club.
Verdict?
Comfort - 9.5
Convenience - 10
Value for the money - 9
Luxury - 10
On the scale of 1 - 10, we give this one: 9.6 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 (One of the most incredible experiences we’ve had on a vacation for lesser price point than other cruise lines with similar product)
